does every shaft fits all driver?

[Walas]

Hi, I just broke my stiff shaft of my driver 2 weeks ago and I have been looking for a way to replace the shaft instead of buying a new drive.

I have a Titleist 910d and I was wonderingg that if any shaft could fit the driver or it has to be a shaft that works only for titleist?

Also, would you recommend me to buy a new drive or only change the shaft?

By the way, if you could recommend me a good stiff shaft under $50 (in preference) that could fit my drive I would really appreciate it!!

 

Thanks for the help!!

I'm no expert on shafts - @WUTiger is probably the go-to there - but I believe that, yes, pretty much any driver shaft can be used with any driver.  It would need to be installed into the Titleist shaft tip thingie (sorry, don't remember what those are called) because the different brands of adjustables certainly aren't compatible, but as far as I know, any shaft can fit.

And I think shafts can be pretty unique to swing characteristics, plus I know very little about them, so I can't recommend a specific one for you.  Sorry.

Good luck.

There are two common shaft sizes, .350" and .335". I believe your driver is .335" which is the more popular size.

thanks.

would you recommend buying another drive or replace the shaft?

Buy a new one. Your driver is going for about $80 on ebay and you'll spend a large percentage of that on the shaft, adapter, and grip alone.

I'd replace the shaft, it'll be cheaper. You could probably find a new shaft with the sleeve installed on ebay. Then all you would need to do is screw it in.

I bought a shaft with the adapter and grip installed for my Callaway driver and it was $50. His shaft and grip would be brand new and the head likely in better condition than the used ones on ebay.

what sbaft did you buy

I had an aftermarket shaft for a Cobra driver sitting at home and had a Callaway tip installed on it. That cost me $50. The Callaway driver is worth about $50 now anyway, but it's still a very good driver. Why buy a new one? How long did it take Callaway to get the Razr Hawk out of Mickelson's hands?

For adjustable drivers, almost any shaft that has the same tip diameter can be used with the driver. If you swap to a shaft not usually fitted with (for example) a Titleist driver, you would just need to make sure you get a Titleist-compatible tip adaptor.

Although you could remove the adaptor from the stock shaft, it would be better to get a new adaptor for the outsider shaft. That way, if the outsider shaft doesn't work, you can reattach the original shaft and sell the driver as a stock - not custom - model.
